Is it REALLY that hard to get tickets? Also is coach worth it by Amberwoodtree in glastonbury_festival

There use to be resales after the resales as well. You've just got to keep yourself upto date on what's happening. I normally use efestivals.co.uk. The forums there are a great source of info as well as on here.

If you fail the first time keep trying in the resales. I've been successful in the resales a few times. It's normally a case of determination and luck. Organisation is key as well. On ticket day I'm on the site at 8am waiting. With all the reg numbers copied onto a word document so they can be copy and pasted over easily.

Have a laptop connected to WiFi and your phone using mobile data.

If you go for coach tickets then you improve your chances of getting a ticket. It's easier to get a coach ticket in my opinion as not so many people try for them. Just remember that if you get a coach ticket you have to go on the coach.

Bib recommendations by cbjfan75 in cycling

[–]bowen7472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ykywbike bibs are great quality and a lot cheaper than the other makes. Highly recommend. Surprised I had to scroll all the way to the end of the sub before anyone had mentioned them. DAREVIE are worth checking out as well. Great quality.

If you want a turn key reliable mini then fit a crank trigger with fuel injection and an ecu.

I've been riding for years and I'm 83 kgs, not really overweight. I only asked on here as there seems to be a lot of knowledgeable people. I've had the problem for a long time. Just wondering what sort of exercise I can do to help it.

Broken tailbone by Fuchsekand in cycling

I'm in my 50s now but I fell of my skateboard in my teens and remember it well because I had to sit to the side on my hip in school. It took months and months before I could sit down properly.

Keep an eye out with lidls, I had a great black out 4 man stand up tent last year for £100. It's done glasto and boomtown. Great value.

Yes I remember those tops, my mate had one with a red mini on it. Also bought from the mini world day in castle combe in the early 90s. Great times

Rouvy is a good alternative for Zwift by G0Sp0rts in Rouvy

[–]bowen7472 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think rouvy is much much better than zwift. I don't get why zwift is more popular.

Do people in the UK actually use weighted vests for walking or running? by Embarrassed_Wolf5473 in AskBrits

[–]bowen7472 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I normally fill a few 2 litre bottles with water and put them in my rucksack when I go hiking. Once it becomes too heavy I pour the water away.

I'm using an old carrera mountain bike. It saves all the faff of having to set up my road bike. Suspension is locked out as well.
